PROFESSOR S. JOHNSON, Of the
Michigan Agricultural College, has
made many experiments with ensllage
during the past few years. He finds
it better to have several small silos or
divisions than one large one; that
weighing with stones, barrels of
earth, etc., is more satisfactory than
q screw; and the silos is n OF the
most economical methods of storing
fodder. Professor johnson finds three
tons of ensilage equal in feeding value
to one ton of hay, and therefore a
fair crop of ensilage means the grow
ing of an equivalent to six to ten tons
of hay per acre. Ensllage is a cheap
substitute for roots-so desirable for
cattle-but an expensive crop for the
general farmer.

a NOTES.

SOME farmers sow theirgras5 seed on
the snow, trusting to the ven distri-
button thereof by the downward ten
dency Of water and the use OF b farm
roller for covering after the frost has
finished ~upheaving the soil but 1t is
doubtful II the practice or sowing
clover and other grass seeds so early in
the season is the proper mode. Al
though such seeds do not easily lose
vitality, yet there is damage done by
the cold, and the hungry birds do not
miss the opportunity to take their
share, while the proper ''catch" largely
depends upon the condition OF the soil.
1t has been demonstrated that when
the harrow is used over the growing
wheat early in the spring the result is
beneficial, and it is when the wheat IS
narrowed that the grass seed should be
sown, If grass 10 to follow a grain crop.
1t is important that the seeds be
covered, and If the field be narrowed
there will be less loss of seed, aud
greater chances for a good stand. As
an application of nitrate of soda on
wheat In the spring pushes 1t forward
very rapidly it soon reaches sufficient
height to shield the young clover from
the extreme heat of the snn, while the
clover will, at the same time, make
sufficient growth better to endure the
warm weather. The harrow may also
be usefuIly employed to mix the fer
tilizer with the soil at the same time.
The ground upon which the seed is
to be sown deserves more attention
than the grain crop, the grass seed or
the mode of cultivation, for if the
grass crop be intended as a permanent
pasturage it must not be overlooked
that weeds will spring up to compete
with the grass, and for that reason
the ground must be very clean. 1t is
best, therefore, that the wheat crop
to he grown should be on land that was
previously in corn. as the extra culti-
walton required for corn better prepares
the land not only for wheat but for
the grass which is to follow. If, after
the corn crop is off, the land be put in
rye, which may be plowed under in the
spring and millet or buckwheat sown
and plowed under when green, and
wheat sown in the fall following, the
ground should be in a very clean con-
1ltion and fitted for any crop

say the nervous system is the seat of life,

The functions of the body are to take nu-
triton and get rid of a corresponding
amount OF old and impure material. If
the nerves are strong enough to do this, we
are well, and the blood purifies itself every

be clean, if cloggel with dust 1t will
not pump up the oil. The lightest part
of the oil burns first, leaving the heavy
oil; If filed up day after day the oil
will not become SO heavy that the draft
will not be strong enough to pump it
up. The burner. If gummed, gives al
uneven, smoky light, If the holes pro-
vided to give perfect combustion be
stopped up the same effect Will result.
The lamp should be II ed up every day,
and once a week all the oil should be
turned out; a new wick put In once in
two weeks, and trimmed with sharp
shears ever and true every day; the
burner kept clean by brushing every
day and boiling with I've occasionally
